Salvation Army announces Camp Homelaniʻs 2023 Keiki summer camp sessions

The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Island’s Division has announced their 2023 keiki summer camp season at Camp Homelani on Oʻahu’s North Shore.

Six faith-based camp sessions will be offered from June 19 to July 28, for campers ages 7 to 17.

The beachfront camp is located in Waialua and offers campers elective sessions in creative arts, STEM, music, sports and ocean recreation, and dance.  

Themes vary by week at the camp, and special Music Camp and Teen Camps are offered.

At the Music Camp, campers can take several classes in a music major of their choice, such as ukulele, brass band, and hula. Campers also have the option to choose a creative elective to participate in. The week concludes with a final performance on Thursday evening.

Summer 2023 camp sessions are scheduled to include: 

• June 19-23 – SAY Camp, ages 7-17 
• June 26-30 – Discovery Camp No.1, ages 7-12 
• July 3-7 – Discovery Camp No. 2, ages 7-12 
• July 10-14 – Music & Creative Arts Camp, ages 8-17 
• July 17-21 – Discovery Camp No. 3, ages 7-12 
• July 24-28 – Teen Camp, ages 13-17 

“Camp offers many keiki their first time to get away from the cities and towns and into a new context,” said Rob Noland, director of The Salvation Army’s Camp Homelani. “It’s a great way to put down electronic devices and take a break from gaming to get outdoors. And, often times, campers are able to build relationships with other keiki that will last and impact them for a lifetime.”

Registration fees are $300 per camper and include four nights of accommodations and meals, from Monday night to Friday morning.

Scholarships are available. For more information and to complete camp registration forms, visit camphomelani.org or call 808-440-1832.
